Mumbai vs Hyderabad, 20th Match

That ends the UAE leg of the Indian T20 League. The action now shifts back home after a gap of one day. Join us on Friday for the match between Chennai and Kolkata. Until then, take care and Cya!

Bhuvneshwar: "Yes, swinging the new ball is my strength. Me and Steyn compliment each other really well. He has been a good mentor to all of us. I just wanted to focus on bowling in the right areas and getting the yorkers right. My job is to get wickets at the start and I have been able to do that."

Bhuvneshwar is the Man of the Match for his figures of 2/17

Dhawan: "It was a really tight game and there was lot of pressure but the bowlers bowled well. Steyn and Bhuvi did well to restrict them at the end. I wanted the main bowlers to take the wickets, so that Irfan can bowl to the new batsmen. We are getting into the groove and we need to keep improving. The crowd was really nice and the wickets were also good to bat on."

Rohit: "It is frustrating. Things are not falling in place. We started well taking early wickets but we struggled in the middle. We wanted to field first because we wanted to know the score in front of us. We have to win all the games from here on now. We will go back to our home conditions and see what we can do. We have to stay tight and positive. It was not a great birthday."

Mumbai lose their fifth consecutive match. At one moment Pollard was taking them home but the last couple of overs changed the complexion of the game. After starting off poorly, Mumbai found Rayudu and Pollard doing the tiding up job. The pair added 77 runs for the fourth wicket. The big man started slowly but took a particular liking to Mishra and got to his highest T20 League score. However, Steyn and Bhuvneshwar bowled two tight overs in the 18th and 19th. Irfan too put his hand up and delivered the last over when the match was in balance. Mumbai are yet to open their account this season and Hyderabad join Banglore, Kolkata and Delhi with 4 points.

So, Warner-fuelled Hyderabad boast a fine total. They were in a spot of bother after losing two early wickets to Zak but then the enterprising Davey joined hands with the pragmatic Rahul to put them back on track. After knocking the ball around in the early stages of his innings, Warner donned the attacking avatar, powering his way to 65. Mumbai wheedled out a few late wickets to mute the onslaught. Hyderabad though would be pleased with their batting performance. Can Mumbai's malfunctioning batsmen now rise to the task?

19.6 Malinga to N Ojha, FOUR, pin-point placement again as Ohja bisects extra-cover and mid-off again. Length again outside off, Ojha clears his front leg and flays it away to the fence to help Hyderabad finish with a flourish. Pollard dived at mid-off but it amounted to nothing

Irfan Pathan, left handed bat, comes to the crease

19.2 Malinga to Rahul, out Caught by C Gautam!! Cheeky and out! This was fuller and on the off-stump, Rahul walks across and tries to scoop it over, bad choice as there was a deep fine leg as well. The ball loops behind off a top edge, the keeper moves across to his left and grabs it. Rahul c C Gautam b Malinga 46(40) [4s-3]

Malinga to Rahul, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

19.1 Malinga to N Ojha, 1 run, right in the blockhole, Ojha manages an inside edge onto the pads, the duo scamper for the single

Darren Sammy, right handed bat, comes to the crease

18.2 Corey Anderson to Warner, out Caught by C Gautam!! Switch-hit and he's nicked off. But is it all a bit too late for Mumbai? This was angled in full outside off, Warner turns into a right hander, seeks a lusty blow over the leg-side but can only edge it to Gautam, who takes it with no trouble. Warner c C Gautam b Corey Anderson 65(51) [4s-1 6s-4]

15.1 Pollard to Warner, no ball, Oh dear! Warner has thwacked this beamer straight to umpire Dharmasena, who copps a painful blow despite showing signs of some evasive action.

Dhawan: "We would have batted first. Our strength is at the top. We would like to put pressure on their batting in the second innings. We have two changes. Irfan Pathan and Naman Ojha come in.We won a game over here. We are looking forward to this game. We have been doing well, our batting though needs to make more runs on this wicket. Captaincy is a great challenge. It is a learing experience."

Rohit: "We want to field first. The wicket won't change too much. We want to know the target. We should get them to a low total. Early wickets will be crucial. We have done enough of talking in the meeting. We have one change with Ben Dunk replacing Mike Hussey. We need a win. It has been disappointing the way we played the last 4 games. We still believe we can turn things around. Today is the game. People in the UAE have been fantastic."

Meanwhile, the official news is that West Indian batting all-rounder, Lendl Simmons has been signed up by Mumbai as a replacement for the injured Jalaj Saxena. Can Rohit, who is celebrating his birthday today, pull off a Faulkner to help Mumbai break their duck? Let us find out...

Their bowlers gave Chennai a late scare but their middle-order batting looks light. With the UAE leg winding up and the caravan heading to India, both teams will be vying for nothing less than a win to spark a revival of sorts.

When things don't go your way, they just don't go their way. Ask Mumbai. With their batsmen floundering game after game, they are left win-less in four attemps. Crossing swords with them are Hyderabad, who have just about managed to escape rock bottom.

Preview

It is the last match in the UAE and it will feature the two bottom-dwellers of this season's tournament. The defending champions, Mumbai, having lost all their matches so far will look to salvage some pride before returning back to India for their remaining nine games. On the other hand, Hyderabad's position is no better. With 1 win and 3 losses, it has been a shaky start for Shikhar Dhawan's team.

Mumbai

Things have gone horrendously wrong for the defending champions, right from the day of the auction. Eyebrows were raised when they decided against retaining Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Johnson, Dwayne Smith and a host of others during the auctions. It has now spectacularly boomeranged on them; while the three players have been outstanding for their new franchises, the replacements have found things going tough in the Mumbai camp.

Batting has been the biggest worry for Rohit Sharma and his men. Scores of 122, 115, 141 and 125 tell the tale themselves. The MI batsmen have passed fifty only once so far, and that is just an even 50 by skipper, Rohit Sharma. Michael Hussey and Corey Anderson, their two high profile buys in the auctions, have struggled to get going, while Kieron Pollard is yet to fire. Less said the better about the Indian contingent. Ambati Rayudu has been a pale shadow of himself, Rohit has frozen under immense pressure while Aditya Tare has not done anything substantial.

While the batting has been pedestrian, the bowling has mostly lived up to the expectations. Lasith Malinga continues to be impeccable while wily Zaheer Khan has complemented his Sri Lankan counter-part. The spin twins, Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha have been tidy.

Hyderabad:

Similar problems have engulfed Mumbai's opponents as well. A top-heavy batting, which has struggled to assert itself and a middle order that, does not brew any sort of confidence. Aaron Finch has been the stand-out, but with Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner not at their best, Hyderabad have struggled to conjure up match-winning scores. The one time they did against Delhi, the bowlers managed to stifle down the opposition. Darren Sammy and Karn Sharma showed some spark against Chennai in their last encounter, but the team needs more from the top-order if they are to move forward.

Despite boasting one of the best bowling attacks in the tournament, Hyderabad have been strangely lacklustre to an extent. Dale Steyn and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been average at best, while Amit Mishra has been very expensive. Ishant Sharma and Irfan Pathan, two bowlers attempting a comeback into the Indian ODI side on the basis of a good show in the Indian T20 League, have done no favours for themselves with some appalling performances.

Team News:

Will Mumbai finally bite the bullet and drop Michael Hussey? The Australian legend has struggled right from the start and might make way for fellow Aussie, Ben Dunk. On the other hand, Hyderabad may be tempted to play an unchanged side despite three losses, especially after taking the game against Chennai to the final over.

Quotes:

The four games we have played, it was not our day. We still can change things - Rohit Sharma is hoping that things will turn for the better.

We haven't started off well but it can happen in T20 cricket. We've got the quality to bounce back - Aaron Finch is confident about a Hyderabad fight back.
